**IWales** lelinye lamazwe amane abumba iUnited Kingdom . Ummandla oyimbali weGreat Britain, umda ngasempuma yiNgilani, emantla nasentshona ngakuLwandle lwaseIreland kwaye emazantsi yiBristol Channel . Ifikelela kuma- kwaye ngo-2011 ibinabemi abangama 3 063 456 abantu. Ikomkhulu layo yiCardiff.

IWales inonxweme olungaphezu kwama kunye nokuhambelana kwayo kuninzi kweentaba, kunye neendawo eziphakamileyo kwiindawo ezisemantla nasembindini, kuquka i-Snowdon (i-Welsh *Yr Wyddfa* ), eyona ncopho iphakamileyo. Lo mmandla ungaphakathi kwendawo epholileyo kwaye uyonwabela imozulu yolwandle eguquguqukayo.

Umnini wangoku wetrone yaseWales yiNkosana uWilliam, iNkosana yaseWales, unyana omkhulu kaKumkani uCharles III .

Isazisi sesizwe saseWelsh savela kwisizwe samaCeltic saseBritane kwisiqithi saseGreat Britain ngexesha elisusela ekurhoxisweni kwemikhosi yamaRoma kwisiqithi (ngenkulungwane ye-5) ukuya ekoyisweni kweNgilani yanamhlanje ngabantu bomnombo wamaJamani ( phakathi kweeSaxons zangaphambili kunye neeAngles ). Abantu baseBritane, abangamaRomani kakubi, bagcina ukuzimela kwezopolitiko, ulwimi kunye nezithethe kwezona ndawo zisentshona zesiqithi, ezihambelana ncakasana neWales yanamhlanje: namhlanje ithathwa njengenye yezizwe ezintlanu zale mihla zaseCeltic.

Ukufa kukaLlywelyn ap Gruffudd ngowe-1282 kwaphawula ukugqitywa kuka -Edward I woloyiso lwaseNgilani eWales . Yonke iNqununu yaseWales yahlanganiswa yiNgilani kwaye ifakwe kwinkqubo yezomthetho yesiNgesi ngemithetho ebuyela kwi-1535 kunye ne-1542 . Noko ke, ngenkulungwane ye-19 kwaqalisa ukuvela kwezobupolitika ezizimela ngakumbi; Inkululeko yaseWelsh, eyayimntwisiwe ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yama-20 nguDavid Lloyd George, yathatyathelwa indawo kukukhula kobusoshiyali kunye neLabour Party . Ukutyhubela inkulungwane, ubuzwe baseWales bukhule: UPlaid Cymru, iqela lesizwe laseWales, lasekwa ngo-1925 kunye noMbutho weeLwimi zaseWelsh ngo-1962. Yasekwa ngo-1998, iPalamente yaseWelsh inoxanduva loluhlu lwemiba ephantsi konikezelo, o.k.t. isenzeko sokudluliselwa kwamagunya athile ukusuka kwiziko ukuya kumagunya asekuhlaleni ahlukeneyo, njengoko kwenzeka eUnited Kingdom kunye *neZizwe eziManyeneyo zaseKhaya* (kule meko London ukuya eCardiff).

Ekuqaleni kwe- Industrial Revolution, uphuhliso lwemigodi kunye namashishini esinyithi aguqule isizwe ukusuka kwizolimo ukuya kuluntu lwezoshishino; ukuxhaphazwa kweSouth *Wales Coalfield* kubangele ukwanda ngokukhawuleza kwabemi baseWelsh. Isibini kwisithathu sabemi sihlala eMzantsi Wales, ikakhulu eCardiff, eSwansea naseNewport, kunye neentlambo ezikufutshane. Namhlanje, amashishini emveli anzima kunye nemigodi ziyancipha, kwaye uqoqosho lwaseWales luxhomekeke kwicandelo likarhulumente, iinkonzo kunye nokhenketho. Ixabiso elipheleleyo laseWales longezwe ngo-2010 laliyi- £ 45.5 yezigidi ( iThemplethi:M ngomntu ngamnye, i-74% ye-avareji yase-UK, kunye neyona iphantsi ngomntu ngamnye e-UK).

Nangona iWales yabelana ngembali yezopolitiko nezentlalo kunye neGreat Britain yonke, kwaye uninzi lwabemi luthetha isiNgesi, isizwe sigcine isazisi senkcubeko esahlukileyo, kwaye sithetha iilwimi ezimbini ngokusemthethweni. Bangaphezu kwama 560 000 abantu baseWales abathetha isiWelsh, yaye olu lwimi luthethwa luninzi lwabemi abakwiindawo ezisemantla nasentshona yelo lizwe.

Kwiminyhadala emininzi yemidlalo yezizwe ngezizwe, efana neNdebe yeHlabathi yeBhola ekhatywayo, iNdebe yeHlabathi yoMbhoxo kunye neMidlalo yeCommonwealth, iWales ithatha inxaxheba namaqela esizwe sayo, nangona kwiMidlalo yeOlimpiki iimbaleki zaseWelsh zikhuphisana ecaleni kweqela laseBritane . Umbhoxo weshumi elinesihlanu kwicala ngalinye ubonwa njengophawu lwesazisi saseWales kunye nokubonakaliswa kokuqonda kwesizwe.
